Hi everyone. My question is in the topic.
The display I am about to purchase is a Dell UltraSharp 49 Curved Monitor: U4919DW.
Can this resolution be supported by an M2 Pro chip out of the box via USB C.
MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023)
yes.
provided appropriately short (under 1 meter) "full featured" USB 3.1-rated cables are used.
Full-featured USB-C cables that implement USB 3.1 Gen 2 can handle up to 10 Gbit/s data rate at full duplex. They are marked with a SuperSpeed+ (SuperSpeed 10 Gbit/s) logo.
from Wikipedia
This means that to meet 20 G bits/sec data rates for HBR2, the normally inbound data pathways will have to be reversed to Outbound most of the time. There will not be much bandwidth left over, so do not count on attaching a drive or other data-hungry device on the same cable.

Of course. The only thing that changed is I went with the Dell U4924DW instead. It has nearly the same specs as the monitor in my thread title.
Dell recently launched its Display Manager Software for Mac which makes arranging windows and apps a breeze. This needed to be downloaded from Dells website.
ah, one important difference is that the dell U4924DW claims support of DisplayPort 1.4, which included data compression, and makes it easier to obtain 60 Hz refresh and still have a little bandwidth left to run regular Peripherals off its USB ports.
The Dell U4916DW claims only DisplayPort 1.2, which does not support data compression, and may not quite be able to make 60 Hz in every setup.
Hi eszed5561,
I hope you read this even though your post is already a couple of months old. I have also purchased this monitor and from a display point of view, it works well with my 13inch MacBook Pro 2016, running Monterey 12.6.8. However, I struggle with the built-in docking station - does it work for you? Mine does not seem to pick up the LAN connected to the monitor, nor does it pick up the Logitech camera connected to the monitor. Could the issue be also the stock USB-C-cable which came with the monitor? How can I find out what kind of cable it is?
Kind regards

because the display data takes up almost the entire bandwidth of a short SuperSpeed USB 3.1 or 3.2 cable, there is likely not enough bandwidth left over to run any high-speed peripherals.
Your specific peripherals may requires more data than the Author's, and simply not have enough left to function.
Thank you for your reply - I was able to solve this by changing the priority of the built-in USB-C port from display to data, so now I work via LAN and can use a webcam etc. Display quality still very good and absolutely sufficient for my purposes.
Thanks. I have purchased the monitor and I'll report back once received and tested.
The monitor is here and with the provided short Super High Speed USB 3.2 cable, I can output the display as desired and use an external FHD webcam.
Thank you so very much for confirming that!
Now we can all use your experience as a references for what works for that display..
I see, I didn't look at it from that lens. Would you like me to conduct any tests for the benefit of the community?
Can MBP Pro 14" with M2 Pro support 5120 x 1440 with USB C?
